    So if I go to the dealer and purchase a sx. I can have dealer install a rear locker? Legit question here I can buy a 21 sx for $33,500. Its a AC/AT v6 long bed with blackout package and led headlights. I was thinking about it and just adding an arb for $1000.

    You can call bull all you want... It doesn't make you right.

    The locker was, in fact, available as a dealer added option. That is absolute 100% fact.

    My company doesn't have a Toyota franchise; we do have Jeep, Chevy, Dodge, Ram, Nissan, Kia and for plenty of vehicles, options can be added after the fact.

    Service finalizes install by submitting to the manufacturer that a specific sales code was added to the vin number of the vehicle worked on; this way any dealer servicing the vehicle can see it is a 'factory' option whether it was installed at the dealer or not. It's an OEM part/assembly, installed on their model car or truck.

    On dealer added... with Toyota... I believe there are cases where the added option can be made, but the VIN has already been established.

    Example: dealer added locker that is does not show up on VIN report.

    What are you babbling about?

    I didn't say anything about a guy down the street.

    Can you read?

    Probably not on a public, online database.

    I can tell you though that if you had your Chevy Silverado or Jeep Wrangler, heck even your Ram 3500, equipped with something from the dealer that was available as a factory option, the sales code will show up on the inquiry report.

    Yes I am aware that we are talking first gens. I just didn't know if the dealer would do a rear locker as an add on. That and what would it cost? No biggie I am sure my sales rep will be calling me in the morning. They just got new inventory.
